Background: The increasing adoption of individual urban mobility in European cities is contributing to a rise in the number of bicycle and e-scooter users. Consequently, a corresponding increase in accidents, along with an additional burden on emergency departments, is anticipated, particularly in metropolitan areas. The objective of this prospective cross-sectional study was to gather detailed information regarding the patient demographics, accident mechanisms, and injury patterns of e-scooter riders in comparison to cyclists.

We aimed to estimate the cost effectiveness of population-level interventions for tackling dementia risk factors. We found such interventions for tobacco smoking, excess alcohol use, diet modification to decrease hypertension and obesity, air pollution, and head injury.

Background: Shared micromobility programs (SMPs) are integral to urban transport in US cities, providing sustainable transit options. Increased use has raised safety concerns, notably about helmet usage among e-scooter and e-bicycle riders. Prior studies have shown that head and upper extremity injuries have risen with SMP adoption, yet data on helmet use remains sparse.

Using the methodology developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for motorcyclists, this paper estimates bicycle helmet effectiveness factors (HEFs), defined as the percentage greater chance that a helmeted bicyclist will avoid a fatality or serious injury relative to a non-wearer. We analyse reported motor vehicle-bicycle collisions in Colorado between 2006 and 2014. We conclude that NHTSA's motorcycle HEF methodology did not provide reasonable results given underreporting of low-severity collisions of helmeted bicyclists.

Cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, increasingly subject to various sources of distraction, including the use of mobile phones and engagement in other tasks while navigating urban environments. Understanding and mitigating the impact of these distractions on cyclist safety is crucial. Despite the importance of this issue, the effect of distraction on injury severity in cycling crashes has not been extensively studied.
